The Re-Lauch of the Retro Re-Pin

Welcome to the re-launch of the Retro Re-pin Party!

It's Tuesday and you know what that means. It's Retro Re-pin time. With a new re-launch I decided to feature a way to make money. Who would not like to make extra money with your vacation pictures? Make sure you tell all of your friends about the new Retro Re-pin. The more people who you share the party with could mean more views and pins for your Pinterest Pins. You and your friends make this party what it is. So go share share share and pin pin pin.

Now on the Party!!

We have some exciting things happening this week with the Retro Re-pin Party. You may have noticed some new blog names in your reminder email and in the list below. That's because we're changing things up a bit and have brought some new hostesses on board to re-launch the party!

First off, since many of you are new (welcome!), we wanted to explain a bit about the purpose of the Retro Re-pin Party. The idea for this party is a quick, weekly link party where you can share some of your older (or "retro") pinned blog posts and give them some new exposure while growing your Pinterest reach. We all have so many great things in our archives, so we wanted to give them a place to shine again!

The other benefits to linking up Pinterest pins is that it's super quick to click and re-pin another post (versus visiting a blog, commenting, and then pinning), and you each gain some reach on Pinterest twice over - once from the re-pin to another person's board, and a second time with the new smart feed algorithms that give priority to displaying pins that have a higher number of re-pins. (And don't worry, you can link up your new stuff too, but don't be afraid to dig out the retro stuff - as long as the pins are new to the party, we'd love to see them!)

Meet Your New Hostesses!

Hi! I'm Stephanie Powers, and I'm an Austin, Texas native living in Denver, Colorado. I blog about my favorite Tex-Mex and travel-inspired recipe creations, weekly meal plans, food photography, and tech resources for bloggers. I want to make it easier for you provide sustenance to your family and understand the blogging world.

I’m Gennie, the writer behind “The Gift of Gab”. I’m a Biomedical Sciences Researcher who is passionate about studying the human body with a specific interest in nutrition. I’m a wife to an incredible, supportive man and a “fur mom” to two adorable pets. I write mostly about our life in Utah after moving cross-country from Missouri and my experiences in the kitchen, and I throw in tons of DIY projects, travel stories, and some fashion and faith, too.

I am a twenty-something, Bride to be, Midwestern gal who grew up playing hide and seek in the cornfields, chasing after runaway horses, and taking the canoe down the river on the weekends.
